Susan smiled at Harry appreciately, and sat down in the chair he offered. She then realized how many couples were formed. Herself and Harry, Clair and Peter, Jeana and Edmund, Hermione and Ron, Todd and Elphie seemed to be getting along, and Lucy and Ben..? She looked at the two, and felt herself wonder about them. Did they like each other? Wasn't Lucy a little young for relationships?
"Hey, Harry?" she asked him as he sat down. "Do you think Lucy and Ben like one another?"
"Oh," Lucy said. She wasn't sure why she was so dejected. She put one hand on a chair she was about to sit in.
